Doesn't it include Auto Timing Alignment? That was in the last Amp Pro firmware update.

Interesting that feature is not included.

Particularly as I was one of the only beta testers

Haha, this tells you to upgrade to pro to get the whole enchilada. It should come what comes on pro plus whatever new features.

I don't even want to use Auto Timing but it should be available.

I'm checking in on this to see if it's supposed to be in this build or if it's coming later for some reason.

I have mini, pro, amp and ultra. I’m looking forward to see my devices get updated not just the latest products. I’m wiim hardcore customer.

They may have fix the issue since it was release on official. The sub integrate seamlessly instead of guessing on manual. One thing I notice if you change the crossover and run auto timing you get different results. Also by just doing toe in and out on same location also impact the result. If you want to retain the bass that rattle the floor and windows, turn off the sub calibration or otherwise you will get flat bass that may sound tin to your liking.

Word is it's coming this week! But maybe it slips to next week. Stay tuned!

The new version is on offer since today in the morning (CET), but every attempt to update failed until now (unknown error). Will give it another try tomorrow.

Edit: it worked after unplugging the mains plug for a few seconds. A regular restart didn't do the trick.

WiiM did already announce that this will become a configurable feature in the future. Just hold on a little bit longer.
